ORDER OF PROCEDURE
Mr. McCONNELL. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that
notwithstanding rule XXII, the cloture vote with respect to the
Alexander substitute amendment No. 3801 occur at 12 noon today; that
the cloture vote on H.R. 2028 occur following disposition of the
substitute amendment; and that the 10:30 a.m. second-degree filing
deadline for both the amendment and the underlying bill be at 11 a.m.
this morning.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection?
The Democratic leader.
Mr. REID. Mr. President, reserving the right to object. We have no
problem moving the vote to noon, but I want everyone to be clear that
we would be happy to have a vote to pass this bill right now. The only
thing holding up the bill is, of course, the amendment of which the
Presiding Officer is well aware.
We would be happy to move right now with the amendments that have
been agreed to--the managers' package we agreed to the night before
last--and finish this bill now.
I have no objection.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
